A lot more accurate than nothing at all. Because that is the real question, isn't it?

I run some very happy time servers on Sparcstation LX (50MHz) or Sparcstation1 (85MHz). CK -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?

Although I'm not using GPS I am using a 20 MHz Sparc with OpenBSD 3.9 as my home NTP (and internal DNS) server. Works fine but took most of a day to do the install. It crunched for hours making SSH keys. Mike

A 200 MHz would do, me thinks.

Any of these will do. An NTP server barely uses any ressources. - mb

Hi! You can do it on any old machine, is ti 200mhz or 1ghz :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would like to set up OpenBSD 4.0 as an NTP server using GPS as the time source instead of punching a hole periodically in a firewall to query the Internet time servers.
